Statistics for the LHC: Quantifying our Scientific Narrative (Kyle Cranmer, 2011) |
| Description: |
The emphasis of these lectures is how we can translate the scientific narrative of why we think
we know what we know into quantitative statistical statements about the presence or absence of new physics. |

Statistics and Discoveries at the LHC (Dr. Glen Cowan, 2010) |
| Description: |
The lectures will give an introduction to statistics as applied in particle physics and will
provide all the necessary basics for data analysis at the LHC. Special emphasis will be
placed on the the problems and questions that arise when searching for new phenomena, ... |

Statistical Techniques for Particle Physics (by Dr. Kyle Cranmer, 2009) |
| Description: |
This series will consist of four 1-hour lectures on statistics for particle physics. The goal will
be to build up to techniques meant for dealing with problems of realistic complexity while
maintaining a formal approach. ... |

Multivariate statistical methods and data mining in particle physics
(by Dr. Glen Cowan, 2008) |
| Description: |
The lectures will cover multivariate statistical methods and their applications in High Energy
Physics. The methods will be viewed in the framework of a statistical test, as used e.g. to
discriminate between signal and ... |

Telling the truth with statistics (by G. D'Agostini, 2005) |
| Description: |
The issue of evaluating and expression the uncertainty in measurements, as well as that of
testing hypotheses, is reviewed, with particular emphasis on the frontier cases typical of
particle physics experiments. ... |

Telling the Truth with Statistics (by R. Barlow, 2002) |
| Description: |
This course of lectures will cover probability, distributions, fitting, errors and confidence
levels, for practising High Energy Physicists who need to use statistical techniques to
express their results. ... |
